Greek Beetroot with Greek Garlic Sauce (Skordalia)

Greek Garlic Sauce - Skordalia - is a delicious accompaniment for a variety of dishes, but here we have it with beetroot. It can also be served on top of green beans and potatoes - adding olive oil to the vegetables before you pour the sauce on top, and is an excellent accompaniment, with the vegetables, for fried squid or any other fried seafood.

And, by the way, don't worry - you and your breath don't smell of garlic after you've eaten it! Try it - it's really tasty. The food on the plate you see in the photo didn't last long after I had taken the photo!

That sounds good. I just recently cooked my first fresh beet. I had only ever had them canned but since they are so easy and yummy I don't need to buy them canned anymore. I will definitely be trying them with this sauce. Thanks. Great blog!

Hi! your Beetroot with Garlic Sauce recipe sounds so good! I've tried it and it's really tasty. My husband loved it so much that he beg me to make another one for dinner. He paired it with fried squid and crispy shrimps. Thank you so much for the recipe! I will definitely check your blog regularly.

Welcome to our blog! Here you can learn how to prepare delicious, traditional Greek dishes from recipes used in the home by local mothers and grandmothers! A lot of them are well-known and others perhaps not so well-known outside Greece. These are all recipes prepared by my wife Maria - she loves cooking and I love eating, so we make a great team!

We live on the island of Corfu in Greece and Maria comes from a family of chefs. Her recipes combine know-how with the simplicity of local, traditional Greek cooking.

These recipes are all for 4- 6 servings (depending on your appetite!) but if anything is left over it can easily be saved for the next day, which is what we do.
